Does anyone know correct orientation for the 4 enclosed 3pdt switches?  Also, for LED going to 3pdt stomp switch, I don't see any resistor connected to it.  Is that correct?

Hi Rocketman and welcome to the forum !

If you're using MusicPCB's kit look at this document on page 3, the 3pdt switch is shown with its lugs "horizontal". Just make sure your lugs look the same way. This can mean 2 possibilities since it's a square, but any possibility will work.

As for the resistor on the led, it's on the board (marked as RLED).
Bââââ.

Sorry for confusion. I am referring to the four 3p4t round swiches (not the 3pdt stomp switch). How are these orientated?

Hemmel

I haven't worked with those yet, but I'll bet you can just insert them on the PCB, making sure all lugs go through, and you should be fine, providing that you can switch them clockwise, for example, non-stop (there's no block after max 3 clicks).

Still, I'll let others answer with more clarity.
Bââââ.

Get the three inner pins to go in holes.

Yes, there's 3 ways to do that, but they all work the same.

If you ever find a non-enclosed rotary switch, look in the side. Each center pin can contact one of the 4 adjacent outer pins. (A 3P3T has one position locked-out.)
